This open access book argues, from a detailed consideration of the
Christian Scriptures, that God intends that sin occur. It swims
against the tide of current thinking in philosophy of religion,
arguing for an unfashionable conclusion. The book begins by
considering the history of views on the question, paying particular
attention to the Reformed or Calvinistic tradition. The heart of
the book is a detailed examination of key passages from the
Christian Scriptures that, it is argued, show that God does intend
that sin occur. It also discusses in detail two alternative views
that could be used to reinterpret these texts, one view that God
intends only that the substratum of the sinful action occur, not
the sin itself, and the other that God acts because a sin will
occur but not intending that that sin occur. The book argues that
these interpretative strategies, even when combined together, do
not produce a plausible interpretation of the texts adduced.
